On Tuesday Of last week, John Maggie,
Sen, former resident of this county,
died at Billings, Missouri. Many people
in Meme Will remember the bright, ac-
tive, young man whose generosity was
prOverbial and whose whole nature was
without a faint of selfshness. When
just upon the threshold of manhood he
enlisted in an Illinois regiment and soon
won reputation for reckless daring as a
soldier, and fidelity as a comrade. He
took part IN many of the heavy engage
ments In the Valley of the Mississippi
and was repeatedly wounded and twice
captured. His entire disregard of per-
sonal safety was the wonder of all who
knew him, and often earned him exemp-.
ton from the consequences OF minor
breaches OF discipline, for the officers adj
mired the young soldier who seemed to
play with death. A severe wound I'M
fitted him for service and he was dis
charged In 1864. lie had reached the
position of sergeant. He accepted pro-
motion reluctantly as the duties of an
officer were distasteful to him. Indeed
strict discipline was irksome to him, gifted
as he was with abundant vitality and
courage which shrank from no danger.
At the close of the war he went west.
The hardships and dangers Of the unex-
plOred country had fascination for him.
Ix-1c = r.,
cured. OF a speculative turn of mind, at
times he was wealthy; then new venture
would sweep everything away. He had
no fear of poverty and no love of wealth
and experienced the vicissitudes of both.
But the hardships of southern prisons
and wounds received in battle shattered
what seemed to be an iron constitution,
and death claimed him before his years
had brought him much beyond the zenith
of life.
No one knew him who was not bound
to him by the ties of friendship. School
boy friendship is generally of a transitory
kind, seldom extending into the period of
mature life; but no school-mate of his
has forgotten the young fellow who
never bullied small boy or turned his
back to big one" And all,-the then
little ones now approaching middle life,
and those whose more advanced years
brought them in closer intimacy and more
direct association with him, will leave
with genuine sorrow of the death of their
friend whose life was attuned in harmony
with the best impulses of humanity.

TIE poor devils who manufacture
crooked whiskey are generally looked
upon as criminals, because they defraud
the government. But it is in no wise dis
honest for a United States Marshal to
make two trips to the county for two
moonshiners both of whom could be TAX
en- at once without any difficulty. But
the fees could be lessened considerably
by such proceeding and Uncle Sam can
well afford to pay fees.

A MANITowoC lady while in Chicago
some weeks ago visited the county JAIL
was introduced to Spies and his proxy
wife. She had lengthy conversation
with both. Spies had heard of number
OF Manltowoc people through correspon-
dence with young lady who lived here
at one time and to whom rumor said he
was engaged, and among those of whom
he had heard was his lady caller. In
consequence he was quite conversation
ally inclined and his caller inferred that
his affection really belonged to the young
lady above referred to and not to Miss
Van Zandt. The latter. indeed. showed
unmistakable signs of jealousy when her
rivals name was mentioned. The mar
riage, the lady concluded, was, so far as
Spies was concerned, a movement to
secure the advantage which might result
from an alliance with a comparatively
influential family. About year ago The
Pilot mentioned the engagement of Spies
but it was discredited at the time and bis
subsequent pseudo-marriage seemed to
confirm the sensational character of the
rumOr. But it seems to have been true.

The English sparrow is certainly able
to take care of himself. John Terens, of
Mishieott, who is good deal of natural
list, has been a close observer of these
birds. He says a sparrow will readily
break kernel of corn into pieces SO small
that no difficulty is found in swallowing
them. Sometimes the kernel is broken by
a well directed stroke Of the bill; oftener
by dashing it against stone. After be-
ing broken the pieces are greedily de-
voured

The trustees of the county asylum have
prepared their report for the county board.
There are at present 100 inmates in the
asylum of whom 81 belong to Manitowoc
and 80 to Calumet, Ozaukee and Mara
thon counties. The total amount receiv-
ed by the asylum for the year closing
Nov. !, 1887 is Sill 34,68. The total dis
bursements amount to 28,9f3,63, leaving
q surplus of S2,391 90. Considerable i'm
provements have been made during the
year. The committee speaks in very IA
yorable terms of the management of the
asylum by Supt. Mueller The value of
farm produce on hand this year in excess
OF that on hand last year is $408,25. The
number of insane belonging to Manito-
woe county confined in state asylums is
%.
The wisdom of building county asy-
lum becomes more apparent as the years
pass. 1t is hardly probable that there is
any asylum in the state more ecommical-
ly managed than ours.
